NZ vs BAN Highlights, ICC World Cup 2023: Mitchell, Williamson Power New Zealand To 8-Wicket Win

New Zealand defeat Bangladesh by 8 wickets. 

Kane Williamson has walked off as retired hurt. Notably, he was hit by a throw from Shanto while taking a run. Glenn Phillips is the new batter in. 

Daryl Mitchell brings up half century in 43 deliveries as he gives the much needed boost to New Zealand's run chase. Shakib as captain, is looking helpless at the moment. NZ need 56 off 78 balls.

Fifty for Kane Williamson! He has taken his time in this innings but maintained the scoring run-rate along as well. NZ 143/2 (29.2)

The effort from New Zealand has been solid so far in this chase. Shakib Al Hasan did remove Devon Conway, however, New Zealand has a long batting line up. 

New Zealand are at the same position as Bangladesh at the 18th over. However, the Kiwis lost 3 wickets less than Bangladesh. 

The first powerplay comes to an end as New Zealand batters Devon Conway and Kane Williamson battled it out in early conditions against some disciplined bowling from Bangladesh.

First blood to Mustafizur Rahman as Rachin Ravindra falls early for the first time in this World Cup. Captain Kane Williamson walks in at number 3. NZ 12/1 (2.4)

New Zealand restrict Bangladesh to 245/9 after 50 overs.

With just 6 overs left, Bangladesh should look to cross the 250-run barrier. New Zealand are still operating with spinners from one end. Mitchell Santner in the attack.

That did not rise at all. Mushfiqur Rahim has been done with a ball that kept really low. Mahmudullah walks in at number 8. BAN 175/6 (35.5)

Finally, the short ball ploy works for New Zealand against Shakib Al Hasan. Lockie Ferguson kept peppering him with bouncers until Shakib gave in with a pull shot only to hit it up in the air. 

Mushfiqur Rahim has played a fabulous knock to keep Bangladesh in hunt against New Zealand. A timely fifty with senior partner Shakib-Al-Hasan on the other end. 

After the end of 25 overs, Shakib and Mushfiqur has somewhat steadied the ship here in Chennai. Lockie Ferguson has been brought back into the attack.

Wicket! It looks like a collapse here. Phillips too joins the party as he dismisses Shanto for 7. A well-timed diving take by the Kiwi opener. 

Wicket! Another pacy bouncer and Mehidy tried to lash onto it but he could only drag it off the top-edge wit Henry making no mistake at the fine leg. Third wicket goes down.

Wicket! Soft dismissal, almost like a catching practice for the fielder. Tanzid Hasan's disappointing World Cup with the bat continues as he departs for 16.

This is positive intent from these two batters. They haven't gone under the shell after the early blow and are scoring crucial runs as much as possible in the powerplay.

Wicket! Stunning start for Boult and New Zealand. Strikes first ball to remove Litton Das for 0. Bangladesh have lost a crucial wicket very early in the innings.

"Was a bit confused (about what to do), but we don't mind batting first. We didn't start well with bat and ball in the last 2 games and these are the two areas we are looking to improve. One change. Mahmudullah comes in for Mahedi."

"We will bowl first, think its a good surface. Nice to take part in those warm-up games and nice to be standing here. I am coming for Will Young."

"59 metres on one side, 68 on the other side, straight is 76. Much better batting surface this. It's a lot harder and less rough as well. There is a little more grass and don't expect the cracks to open up."

Kane Williamson is back in the team and is captaining the side as he won the toss and decided to bowl first.

Kane Williamson is available for selection in New Zealand's match against Bangladesh. He didn't play the first two matches as a precautionary measure. However, he played in the warm-up matches. Notably, Williamson just recovered from a long-serving injury he picked up during IPL 2023. With him being back in the side, Mark Chapman looks the most likeliest to sit out.

New Zealand: Played: 2, Won: 2, Position: 2nd, Points: 4

Bangladesh: Played: 2, Won: 1, Position: 6th, Points:2
